  Hello. I have tried to install Ansys Student 2024 R2 multiple times, and each time it always gives the same error. The installation gets stuck at 8% and doesn't progress for over 6 hours, then it suddenly speeds up to 100% with an error log.
  I share an error log from a previous post i found because it's similar to the one i got but deleted before my current installation attempt (i'm currently in the middle of another 6-hours long one)

  It seems the setup can't detect the 7z.exe and dll files. Here are things i tried:
  1. I confirmed that the 7z.exe and dll files were in the "util " folder in the extracted folder.
  2. I want to state that I extracted the folder from the downloaded zip file before running "setup.exe."
  3. I have tried copying the 7z.exe file to my 'C:\Users\j\AppData\Local\Temp\ans_install_tmp2100\7zip' folder. It didn't solve it.
  4. I have tried completely uninstalling previously installed Ansys software and deleting their folders before each new attempt, to no avail.

  Hi,
  A couple thoughts:
  When runnning setup.exe, did you right-click on it and choose: run as administrator
  Check that virus protection software is not blocking the installation.
  Best,
